Details

Baby giraffes are reared together with other young animals in a kind of kindergarten. A female giraffe from the herd acts as the "nursery school teacher" and looks after the calves while the other mothers search for food. If predators approach, she immediately raises the alarm. Then the female giraffes stand protectively in front of their babies and kick at the attackers. At around four months, they start to pluck and eat the small leaves from trees, but they still suckle from their mothers until they are ninth months.

Why We Love It

Many children's first collections are of animal figurines, and Schleich is a classic! Not all animal figures are created equal, and we've discovered through trial and error that Schleich is the absolute best. Each figure is realistically detailed and hand-painted, making them ideal for both imaginative play and as an educational tool.
